How great that the Palace commented that Claire's "Italian mother of the bride" outfit was "entirely appropriate"

I think it's pretty great that no one was in an uproar, or appalled, or angry. Prince Charles "giggled," and everything went smoothly and respectfully.

Just as it should be. (We still have a long way to go, here in the States.)

This definitely made me smile, too.

This is pretty typical for them, although they occasionally smile (and even once in a blue moon look goofy). At least they didn't cause a scene or refuse the photo op.

But yeah, they don't look like they want to go out for a pint afterward either.
